Description: Philippe FABRY, traveller, photographer, writer, invites us to share his knowledge of the region and to take a wondrous journey. The mysterious monasteries of Tibet, the amazing Silk Road, the originality of the Kalash culture, the splendours of Lahore, the gigantic ancient sailboats of the Indus, the secretive blind dolphin, the archaeological discoveries of Mehrgarh, the rough and wild beauty of Balochistan and the mystic malangs of Sindh, all are familiar to him.
He casts a keen and affectionate glance on the country, at times poetical or sentimental, and the images he comes up with are always amazingly full of beauty, originality and colour.
Apart from this insight, due to research and his fruitful association with Yousuf Shahid, an ardent lover of literature, poetry, fine arts and travelling, the rich cultural heritage of the region is explored with dexterity and feeling.
A book that will take you on a journey of discovery and enchantment.
